Coming of age masterpiece

A stunning and deeply moving documentary. It uniquely portrays the journey of a young adult rising from a disadvantaged background. With poignant intensity, it conveys the sense of loss and hopelessness that comes from a lack of prospects. The film authentically highlights the importance of social awareness and creating equal opportunities. All of this is done without pathos, in a raw and natural way. It is neither preachy nor overbearing, yet it strikes a deep emotional chord. An incredible piece of work.The only drawback is the slightly lower quality of image stabilization in the first 20-30 minutes, but this is entirely understandable given the level of handheld camera technology at the time.All things considered, it is a remarkable, outstanding film. Highly recommended to everyone!

Foreboding Opening Hints at Grim Finale

I wonder if the filmmakers had (negative) influence. In a home situation where the whole family, including a sweet grandma, has to sleep on one bed, with a father who is a weakling and a mother who is never home because she works three jobs. When she is finally home, she feels no sense of responsibility-neither for Sanya nor for her other son and daughter, whom she has been fattening up year after year. The likelihood of a drama like this happening is greater than him diligently finishing his studies and happily going through life.The documentary shows that poverty still exists in Europe. I expect the mother would have preferred to present a different picture. This is not such a flattering family portrait; I therefore find it very brave that they participated in this.

Masterpiece and bait for haters

I liked this film a lot, very authentic and raw material. Unfortunately there were consequences for main hero which makes a great finale but it was tragedy for many.About argument that filmmakers benefited from kids' behavior - there are many poor families in Hungary, you cannot know who do something wrong and who can get lucky and change their path. Most of them don't but would it be any different if they (filmakers) snitched them directly, as kids?I'd like to know how the story continues, but I guess there will not be any cute imagery...:( Other aspect is also today's totalitarian Hungary, there is no interest on human lives anymore.
